attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Samples for this dataset were collected as push cores using the HOV Alvin\nsubmersible. Analytical methods for measuring particulate Ra-224 and Th-228\nare based on methods described in Cai et al. (2012; 2014). In short, once the\ncores were recovered on the ship, overlying waters were siphoned off and the\nsediment cores were sectioned in 2 cm vertical intervals for the top 10 cm,\nthen 4 cm intervals for the remainder of the core. A slurry was prepared by\nadding ~\\u00bc of the sediment volume (or ~1/8 of the sediment volume for the\n4 cm intervals) to 150 mL of Ra-free tap water. The pH of the slurry was\nadjusted by adding 5-10 drops of concentrated NH3-OH, after which 1 mL of 19\nmM KMnO4 and 1 mL of 40 mM MnCl2 solutions were added to precipitate any\ndissolved radium and thorium. A portion of this slurry was vacuum-filtered\nonto pre-weighed 47 mm diameter GFF filters until no further drops passed\nthrough the filter. Filters were dried in a drying oven (at 60 \\u00b0C) for 12\nhours, then placed is a filter holder within a cartridge and counted on a\nRadium Delayed Coincidence Counter (Moore and Arnold, 1996). Results from this\nanalysis represent particulate Ra-224 activities. Filters were then measured\non the Radium Delayed Coincidence Counter again after 3 weeks, from which the\nresults are representative of Th-228 activities on the sediments.

attribute NC_GLOBAL project String Guaymas Basin Ra 224 Approach
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_acronym String Guaymas Basin Ra 224 Approach
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String NSF Award Abstract:\nThis project proposes to validate a new approach to measure porewater flow dynamics from deep sea sediments using a biologically conservative, naturally-occurring tracer, Radium 224, which is constantly produced by porewaters. The technique will be validated using independent measures of porewater fluxes (i.e. heat gradients and magnesium profiles) during a cruise to the Guaymas Basin in the Gulf of California that is already funded by NSF. Once validated the technique will be broadly applicable to all sedimentary environments including oceans, rivers/streams, wetlands and lakes. Understanding porewater flow dynamics is important to understanding ocean and other aquatic system chemical budgets, microbial ecology and global heat flow.\nThis proposal hypothesizes that the short-lived radium isotope Ra 224 may serve as an effective tracer of porewater flows in deep ocean systems, regardless of the type or composition of seepages, because its sources and sinks can be uniquely constrained. The method will be tested in the Guaymas Basin which is comprised of areas undergoing a range of seepage rates and offers porewater thermal gradients resulting from the hydrothermal system. As a result heat fluxes and gradients in magnesium and other cations affected by high-temperature water/rock interactions can be used to independently validate the porewater flows measured by Ra 224.
